Learning and Teaching. Promoting the College as a national and international centre of excellence by delivering education at the highest level and increasing student numbers on courses on campus, via distance learning and on short courses. We will do this in conjunction with partners such as the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) by developing the College's curriculum and by creating new learning opportunities of the highest quality. (Linked to Priority Outcome 1) Strategic Objective 2 - Research, Scholarship and Knowledge Transfer Raising the College's profile as a national and international centre of excellence by conducting the highest levels of research and scholarship and utilising knowledge gained from that research creatively in order to build upon development opportunities. (Linked to Priority Outcome 2)
Learning and Teaching. The College is in the process of a revalidation cycle of courses offered and validated by Sussex University. This gives an opportunity to ensure that courses are developed to offer an inclusive curriculum and a supportive learning experience to students. A review of current practice has begun which will lead to guidelines for tutors when planning curriculum development. The review has three phases induction, on course learning outcomes and assessment. These are seen a key elements in planning a programme and ensuring an inclusive curriculum.

Learning and Teaching. Learners and teachers create contemporary learning environments and quality learning outcomes as they shape and enrich their own and others’ worlds. • Contemporary learning is personalised and provides anytime, anywhere access for students to portable technologies. • Teachers’ access to the NSW Australian Curriculum and supporting professional resources will be delivered online. • A number of Lismore Catholic Schools Office departments (Education Services, School Evangelisation and Catechetical Services) continue to provide and enhance access to teacher and student online learning and teaching environments and content. This is underpinned by the following assumptions: • The world of students within and beyond the school is connected by the use of contemporary information processing, communication and collaboration tools. • Teachers engage in continuous learning to enhance their professional practice and the practices of their students. • School and organisation leaders create the conditions that enable the vision to be realised. • Parents are empowered to become actively involved in their child’s education by accessing online communication, learning, reporting and monitoring systems. • Planning and resourcing is future focused and flexibly delivered within the learning context of the school. • Accountability and improvement is reviewed through the School Review and Development process in accordance with the Lismore Catholic Schools Office strategic guidelines. These digital devices and services are educational tools and must be used in a responsible manner. This policy recognises that there are constant advances and changes in the use of technology (including for e.g. software, apps, information sharing, social media platforms, new devices etc and this list is not exhaustive). Students must seek advice and clarification from the school as soon as possible when engaging with new or unfamiliar technology. Acceptable use is guided by the following principles: • Students must behave in an ethical manner when using digital devices, whether school owned or student provided devices (Bring Your Own Devices “BYOD”) to access resources, communicate and interact with others. • Online behaviour should at all times demonstrate a Xxxxxx-centred respect for the dignity of each person. • It is never acceptable to use digital devices to harass, bully or humiliate others. • Devices should never provide distractions from learning and teaching.

Learning and Teaching. This area of work includes partnership activities which support and enhance the engagement of students in their university learning experience. The University and Union work together to support our current student representative system, which provides an opportunity for the student voice to influence learning and teaching at module, programme and Faculty levels. Student representation is included on all learning and teaching committees at faculty and institutional-level. Student feedback is gathered through Student Staff Feedback Committees (SSFCs) and Thoughts On campaigns. The student voice and representation are a key feature of our institutional quality assurance processes. A student reviewer, often a Faculty Officer, is a member of every learning and teaching review panel and a student contribution is included in the review documentation. Students are also actively engaged in our preparation and reflection for our Enhancement-led Institutional Review (ELIR) through workshops and representation on the institutional steering and working groups. Similarly, a student representative sits on the institution’s Enhancement Themes committee.
Learning and Teaching. Over the past 40 years, DkIT’s academic programmes have deepened to include award levels from apprenticeships to PhDs and have broadened to include a wide range of programmes and disciplines. DkIT has pioneered new approaches to learning and pedagogical innovation, most recently through the work of our Centre for Learning and Teaching (CELT). To meet the needs of society, the economy and our students, we need to continue to develop new pedagogical approaches, assessment and delivery methods. DkIT places significant emphasis on the continuing professional development of its staff. This emphasis is reflected in numerous Institute initiatives, including the setting up of its Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) in 2008, a Master of Arts in Learning and Teaching (2009) and, significantly, the creation of a Student Learning and Development Centre (2009). The MA Programme provides an accredited and modularised professional development pathway incorporating a flexible/blended learning philosophy. MISSION-BASED PERFORMANCE COMPACT
Learning and Teaching. To enhance the role of the College as a national and international centre of excellence by providing educational opportunities of the highest standard and by increasing student numbers on full time and part time courses delivered on the College campus, on distance learning courses and on short courses.
